Paul sounds the alarm on debt but fights Trump on tariffs to pay down the debt…

NOW? WHY DIDN’T YOU “SOUND THE ALARM “ when dems were in charge?. Worthless POS. I felt the same way Trey Gowdy. Talk and no action. He is still the same.

He runs in circles waving his hands.
He doesn’t actually solve any problems. And he doesn’t help Trump solve any of the other problems. Rand is 100% focused on the debt. Which he isn’t able to do anything about. He’s not a serious figure.

Cut debt, if we have the votes, by cutting spending on junk like environmental justice. But the debt is less important than the taxes and regulations that are strangling growth.

Yep. Paul yelled the loudest against Trump Tariffs.

Until they worked.

And now here he is screaming against the BBB. Now while I have some concerns about it, I feel more in favor of it simply because Paul is against it.

@RandPaul, Did it ever cross your mind, Sir, that maybe if politicians quit spending so much money, and people who work would have to pay less tax this problem could be solved?

Ross Perot sounded the alarm a third of a century ago.

You shouldn’t be a citizen if you’re not a taxpayer

It’s really bad when you compare interest on the debt to Total Revenues less Social Security and Medicare

The part that I've been screaming about for years is :

More than $107,000 per citizen -- More than $323,000 per taxpayer

Why does less than half the population pay the taxes that are supposed to prevent us from racking up this debt? Flat tax? Fair Tax? I don't care which, but this income tax where only honest hard working middle aged and legally employed people contribute has got to go.

It has been a ridiculous situation for decades. I am glad at least one person in Congress is speaking out.

If only he was an elected official he might be able to suggest some
Legislation to cute back on spending.

I’m tired of all this debt I can never pay.

I’m going to file bankruptcy and start over.

After 14 Years in the Senate, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

NOTHING! Other than to b bitch and moan and put out your little annual list and like the groundhog, you go back into your hole.

All you have to do is TRUST TRUMP! Simple. Your father was the same type of coo coo bird.

Rand, just STFU and vote for whatever Trump wants.

Taxpayers don’t owe the money.

Just WIPE the debt and be done with it.

Rand is one of the most despised people in DC.
